Uncle Roy was married to my Mom's sister Florann for over 45 years, true soul mates until the end. He was an old time preacher, spending his entire adulthood sharing the gospel and serving others. We didn't see them much when I was growing up because they lived in Germany for many years, working as missionaries there.
It struck me that Uncle Roy spent his whole life teaching about heaven...and now he's in it. Truly, he's the lucky one.
Please say a prayer for my Aunt Florann, she is heart broken...and alone for the first time since she was 18.

Oh Linda. I am so sorry for your loss & your Aunts. I truly hope she feels love & comfort. I can't even imagine how hard that would be to be without your sweetheart after so many years..
So sorry... it is a sad and lonely time... but know that families CAN be together forever! We have a Heavenly Father that loves us! Sounds like he was a good good man! I hope your aunt has someone living close to help her through this sad and lonely time... hugs!
This is one of those sweet and sour things isn't it? Sweet because what's better than Heaven, and sour because of the people left behind.
I'll pray for you aunt. What a blessing for her, and the rest of the family to know where he is!
I'll be remembering your family in my prayers and praying that Florann will have peace in the midst of the loss of her husband.
That's a long time to be together.
They sound like a wonderful couple.
Love,
